Crossing the Shen

Chen Zidu, who is over 30 years old, feels that he is being gradually evacuated by this virtual world composed of data and slang, turning into an empty shell. The notes tucked into my grandfather's inkstone are full of worries and questions about the fate of culture: "Have people of our generation already pondered over the confusions of our generation a hundred or thousands of years ago? Have their answers been completely forgotten by this noisy era?" This question hit Chen Zidu like a bolt of lightning. The inkstone seemed to sense his confusion and took him through time and space, back to the pre-Qin, Wei, Jin, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Republic of China. In these folds of history, he will meet those souls who are also questioning the meaning of life in troubled times, trying to find forgotten answers from their struggle and perseverance, and also regain the lost weight and texture for his own broken life.
